About this work
The object is composed of the following separate parts: the baluster, the arm, the drip pan, and the candleholder. The profiled baluster is threaded at the bottom and has a smooth upper part, onto which the arm is inserted. It is bent twice and decorated with curls, somewhat reminiscent of Rococo ornament. In the thickened end, the profiled cylindrical candleholder is screwed onto the round drip pan. The thread at the top of the baluster and the knob are missing.
